Roommate Wanted

If you're female, I think you'd laugh at it, too.

I thought it was brilliant!

War of the Roses-esque, with two young ladies.

Some pretty good comedy, a touch of tragedy, the two actresses nailed their parts.

If you have to completely different characters on display, it sometimes is very hard to pick which one you actually like to root for. In this case I thought I was rooting for the lesser evil of the two, the one that seemed to keep it as real as possible, instead of harboring anger and letting it explode almost without a reason.

But if you're honest to yourself, both are as mean as it gets. Not that you wish them anything bad. You just don't care about them, which is not the best thing for a movie with two main characters who are on screen most of the time. Where is the connection? While you may be able to understand how the situation came to be, the extremes this goes are a bit much (which is actually an understatement).

There were actually a few poignant messages in this film. That was unexpected.

Going into this film I was expecting a serious horror film or thriller. On the other hand, the film might be a mixture of genres. Sometimes the film feels like a comedy, sometimes like a drama, and sometimes like a psycho thriller. In the case of Roommate Wanted you have a better than expected film that is a lot of genres in one big blender.

The film can be best described as a dramedy about mismatched roommates who hate each other. You might be thinking to yourself that this does not sound like horror and you would be partly correct. However, when the film goes to the extreme it gets EXTREME. The film benefits from strong performances and from the fact that although it is a small movie, it looks great. The performances are really good. Honestly, the performances are the best part of the film. Alexa Vega is more than just a pretty face. She is talented, tough, a good actress, and I wish we could see her in more films. I also thought how even though there are only two real main characters, you can connect to them both. Meaning you can relate to both Alexa Vega's character and Spencer Grammar's character.

What I didn't like about the film is the writing is a little off. Meaning, the script feels like there are parts that drag, feel like filler, and at times doesn't know what it wants to be.

So these are my final B*tchin' Buddha thoughts on Roommate Wanted (2015). It is a film you are going to like, or a film you are going to hate. I honestly do not see too many people loving this, but I do see someone liking this. If you are looking for a simply minded horror, thriller, comedy, whatever it is. I think you will be pleased. I believe this film earns a…

6 out of 10.

I am not sure if I like/dislike the movie. It was just blah. Will I watch it again, absolutely not. I just don't know what kind of movie this is. Definitely not horror/thriller. It's not the worst film I've seen, and not the best I've seen. However I did like the message (in my own opinion/thoughts) the message I received it that no matter how smart or beautiful one is, deep down there is a lot of hurt and pain.
